Homo ergaster

The origin of all human beings can be traced back to Africa, with some of the earliest fossil remains having been found there. In fact, according to Rick Potts (2010), the fossils of early humans who lived between 2 and 6 million years ago all came entirely from Africa. Together, these bands of humans created some of the earliest forms of civilization in Africa. Groups of intelligent creatures that were able to accomplish relatively astonishing feats, such as the ability to communicate, interact…

more about our past ancestors with the intent to reveal more about ourselves and to define what innately makes us human. Although many skeletons and species of Homo have been identified, we have not yet discovered our last common ancestor, and this has been a hot topic of debate. The genus Homo is bookended by Australopithecus afarensis and Homo erectus, the former more ape than human, while the latter was responsible for making stone tools. However as National Geographic claims, “there is still…

evolution is a lengthy process of change occurring for millions of years. Modern humans, also known as Homo sapiens, are the only surviving species of the genus Homo. Three important ancestors that share close relationships and characteristics with Homo sapiens are Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo Neanderthalensis. To begin, Homo habilis is the first member of the genus Homo. During the time of Homo erectus, the species began to exhibit more similar features to humans…

According to Rittenberg and Tregarthen (2009), economics is “a study of choice”. This simple assumption is the most basic definition of the general economic thought because if there is a scarcity present, then there is a choice to be made about this scarce resource. Moreover, Rittenberg and Tregarthen (2009) also point out that what distinguishes economic approach from any other science, whether social or not, is that economists study this “choices” assuming that people try to maximize their…

Vivian A Zelizer argues individuals will all behave in a different way in their responds or interaction with money. Every individual’s perception of money is different and therefore the way they value its significance is also different. The individual’s social and cultural structure matter because it’s these concept that define the way the individual feels about money compared to another individual whose culture and social structure is completely different. Concepts like these define how the…

ardipithecus boisei is 18.5, homo erectus is 35.71, homo habilis is 33.6, homo heidelbergensis is 26.1, homo neanderthalensis is 25.5, homo sapiens is 36.77, and sahelanthropus tchadensis is 18.5. The fact is if the opisthion index is less than 15, then that organism walks with two feet. We can conclude that all the organisms are bipedalism…

The Lebombo Bone is a Baboon Fibula, it is an ancient mathematical artifact. It was used as a Tally Stick and is nearly 35,000 years old. With the Ishango Bone is dating back to 20,000 B.C. it is yet another amazing mathematical artifact. Found in the 1970’s during the excavations of a Border Cave, the bone was found with nearly 29 clear defined notches and with it being found it was stated that it was the oldest mathematical artifact dating it was approximately dated back to 35,000 B.C. Judging…

Introduction – *Infraclass Metatheria includes pouched mammals andwas first proposed by Thomas Henry Huxley (1880) comprising 272 primitive mammals. *Metatherians are an…

similar physical type compared to Neanderthals. The tooth, however has not provided researchers with any new discoveries on its morphological characteristics, other than having similarities to Homo erectus teeth (Reich, Genetic). However the last finding of the toe bone has revealed through extensive testing that Homo sapiens sapiens did in fact interbreed with Denisovans and have hybrid offspring (Zimmer, toe). Finally recent discoveries of skulls found in Dali and Maba may have Denisovan…

In the film, “The Real Eve”, there was a lot of information to process, but a lot of very fascinating details and facts about the first modern humans and how far they came. To start off, before I watched this video I thought humans first appeared on Earth may 70,000 years ago. However, in the documentary it mentioned that the first modern humans appeared in Africa 150,000 years ago, which really made me think how much longer Neanderthals were on Earth before us, considering that they’re a…
